lets all start a new thread "Playstation 3 Vs Xbox" 
I get your smiley, but I just want to make a point based on that (the game console thing). When it comes to game consoles (primarly PSX2 vs X-box) there has been a great deal of focus on technical specifications. In some specifications the PSX2 has won, in others (most?) the X-box has won. But which gamer jerks off to tech specs? I made a post here some days ago (
Is there a future for Amiga computers?) that dealt with 'core product'. That is - why are the customer's really buying this product?
Well, when speaking of game consoles, how about talking about games instead of tech spec's?
I like playing games from time to time. I always have. I have a PSX2, and by the time I bought it, the x-box was not released yet, but I knew about it. But what made up my decision about getting a PSX2 was the following:
The latest versions of: Grand Turismo, SSX, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Metal Gear Solid.
The above were the *only* reasons to my purchase of the PSX2. Well, add Collin McRae (spelling?) Rally to that list. I don't know if the above titles are available for x-box today (I believe that Sony owns the right to at least some of them), but they weren't at the time when I bought my Playstation2.
The point: Useability. If I want to use something that is only available on a certain platform, it doesn't matter if that platform has slighter lower technical specs than the competing solutions that might have higher specs but lacks those important key features.
